  Yummy Lunch Recipies!

  Do you find the same old peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches in your lunch box every day? Are you sick of hard-boiled eggs and tuna salad? Well, here’s the cure to the boring food blues. These easy-to-make lunch recipes are favorites of the kids in room 3A. Try them all. They’re guaranteed to tickle your taste buds!

  And after you’ve filled the inside of your lunch bag with these tasty treats, don’t forget about the outside of the bag. Decorate your paper bag with stickers or funny pictures, just to make lunch time more special!

  Cracker Stacker

  You will need: round crackers, peanut butter, grape jelly.

  Here’s what you do: Start with a plain cracker. Spread peanut butter on the cracker. Put a second cracker on top of the first. Spread jelly on the second cracker. Put a third cracker on top of the second cracker. Spread peanut butter on that one. Then top that cracker with a fourth cracker. Spread jelly on the top cracker. Keep going until you have a stack of crackers. Wrap your cracker stack in waxed paper before putting it in your lunch box.

  Banana Dogs

  You will need: one banana, a hot dog roll, peanut butter.

  Here’s what you do: Place the banana in the hot dog roll. Smear the banana with peanut butter just the way you would smear mustard on a hot dog. Wrap up your banana dog in waxed paper and pack it in your lunch bag.

  Inside-Out Sandwiches

  You will need: one slice of bologna (use soy bologna slices if you’re a vegetarian like Katie), one slice of American cheese, cream cheese, peanut butter, two bread sticks.

  Here’s what you do: Lay out the slices of bologna and cheese. Spread cream cheese on one side of the balogna. Spread peanut butter on one side of the American cheese slice. Take one bread stick and wrap the meat around it. Make sure the cream cheese side is touching the bread stick. Wrap the American cheese slice around the second bread stick. Make sure the peanut butter side is touching the bread stick. Now you have two inside-out sandwiches. (The bread [stick]) is in the middle. Get it?) Place the sandwiches in a sealed sandwich bag and pack them in your lunch bag.

  Shape-up Sandwiches

  You will need: cream cheese, two slices of white or whole-wheat bread, raisins, grape jelly, cookie cutters.

  Here’s what you do: Spread cream cheese on one slice of bread. Sprinkle raisins on top of the cream cheese. Spread grape jelly on the other slice of bread. Place that slice on top of the raisins and cream cheese with the jelly-side-down. Use the cookie cutters to cut your sandwich into different shapes. Place your shaped sandwiches into plastic bags to keep them fresh.

  A Gobble Gobble Good Sandwich

  You will need: mayonnaise, three slices of white or whole wheat bread, two slices of turkey (or soy turkey), cranberry sauce, leftover stuffing.

  Here’s what you do: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one slice of bread. Top the mayonnaise with turkey slices. Add the next slice of bread. Spread cranberry sauce on top of the bread. Place the stuffing on top of the cranberry sauce. Top with the last piece of bread. Store the sandwich in a plastic bag.
